1
00:00:01,711 --> 00:00:03,588
[narrator] Previously on
Superman & Lois...
2
00:00:03,671 --> 00:00:05,566
[Lois] Let's just focus on
what we came here for. Family.
3
00:00:05,590 --> 00:00:07,634
I don't want to be
just friends, anymore.
4
00:00:07,717 --> 00:00:09,111
Look around here. That's your doing!
5
00:00:09,135 --> 00:00:10,135
[Lana] People are angry.
6
00:00:10,178 --> 00:00:12,138
You destroyed everything I'd built.
7
00:00:12,222 --> 00:00:13,515
I will make you suffer.
8
00:00:13,598 --> 00:00:16,267
Not even Superman is strong enough
to resist Zod.
9
00:00:16,351 --> 00:00:17,351
[John Henry]
Fight back, damnit!
10
00:00:17,352 --> 00:00:18,352
We got him.
11
00:00:21,689 --> 00:00:24,001
I'm very glad you're better, Clark.
I won't doubt you again.
12
00:00:24,025 --> 00:00:25,735
[Lois] Leslie Larr is still in the wind?
13
00:00:25,818 --> 00:00:27,338
She'll be in custody
by the end of the week.
14
00:00:27,362 --> 00:00:29,423
Morgan Edge is in
a state of the art military prison.
15
00:00:29,447 --> 00:00:31,407
[Zeta-Rho]
Complete what you were sent here for.
16
00:00:37,539 --> 00:00:38,957
[voices whispering]
17
00:00:44,629 --> 00:00:45,630
Stop.
18
00:00:48,341 --> 00:00:49,551
Stop!
19
00:00:52,095 --> 00:00:53,721
I'm sorry, Father. [breathing heavily]
20
00:00:54,180 --> 00:00:56,057
- I must rest.
- Rest?
21
00:00:56,140 --> 00:00:59,185
This is nothing compared
to what you will endure.
22
00:00:59,269 --> 00:01:00,311
Nothing!
23
00:01:00,395 --> 00:01:04,607
I fear I made a mistake
sending you, Tal. You are no savior.
24
00:01:04,899 --> 00:01:06,568
- I will be.
- When?
25
00:01:06,651 --> 00:01:08,319
We've been at this for months
26
00:01:08,403 --> 00:01:10,488
and yet you still falter.
27
00:01:10,572 --> 00:01:11,572
Father, please.
28
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,912
I am the one.
I will become who I was chosen to be.
29
00:01:17,996 --> 00:01:18,996
Then prove it.
30
00:01:18,997 --> 00:01:23,919
Prove to me that you'll never shame
the House of Rho again.
31
00:01:33,428 --> 00:01:35,108
[Superman]
What happened to the Eradicator?
32
00:01:36,055 --> 00:01:38,558
You had it right before the blast.
What did you do with it?
33
00:01:46,858 --> 00:01:48,067
Where is it?
34
00:01:49,277 --> 00:01:50,445
Tal?
35
00:01:53,698 --> 00:01:55,617
Where is Leslie Larr?
36
00:01:56,075 --> 00:01:57,035
[Edge] How could I know?
37
00:01:57,036 --> 00:02:00,038
I can't see beyond
these lead-lined walls.
38
00:02:01,998 --> 00:02:05,710
And all I hear... is what's in my mind.
39
00:02:06,628 --> 00:02:08,379
There may still be time for her.
40
00:02:08,463 --> 00:02:09,463
It's too late.
41
00:02:10,131 --> 00:02:13,426
Leslie Larr replaced Irma Sayres
a long time ago.
42
00:02:14,177 --> 00:02:16,179
And you feel nothing
for what you've done?
43
00:02:16,429 --> 00:02:19,349
I feel more than
you could possibly imagine.
44
00:02:20,016 --> 00:02:22,810
But my concern isn't for the souls
of this planet.
45
00:02:23,645 --> 00:02:26,064
It's for those
that need to be resurrected.
46
00:02:27,190 --> 00:02:30,443
My own. Even your soul, Kal.
47
00:02:31,736 --> 00:02:33,112
How wrong I was.
48
00:02:33,655 --> 00:02:34,739
You were.
49
00:02:36,824 --> 00:02:37,825
So was your father.
50
00:02:38,910 --> 00:02:40,411
I found this at your fortress.
51
00:02:41,037 --> 00:02:42,037
Go ahead.
52
00:02:42,622 --> 00:02:45,708
Rid me of my father's influence
as I rid you of yours.
53
00:02:49,796 --> 00:02:51,631
This crystal will never be used again.
54
00:02:51,714 --> 00:02:54,133
You don't want to tell me
where Larr is, fine.
55
00:02:54,884 --> 00:02:56,344
I'll find her and bring her here.
56
00:02:57,428 --> 00:03:01,307
After that, you and I will never
see each other again.
57
00:03:13,236 --> 00:03:14,630
[Clark] I spoke with your grandfather.
58
00:03:14,654 --> 00:03:17,299
The DOD's gonna stick around town
a little longer than they planned.
59
00:03:17,323 --> 00:03:19,075
Until you guys find Leslie Larr?
60
00:03:19,158 --> 00:03:20,952
That and they're
shutting down the mines.
61
00:03:21,411 --> 00:03:22,327
Why?
62
00:03:22,328 --> 00:03:24,998
Gonna get all the X-Kryptonite out,
so no one else gets hurt.
63
00:03:25,081 --> 00:03:27,542
- So no one else gets powers, you mean.
- Also true.
64
00:03:27,667 --> 00:03:28,793
[Jon] And then what?
65
00:03:28,876 --> 00:03:30,378
We're supposed to go back to school
66
00:03:30,461 --> 00:03:31,730
and pretend like
none of this ever happened?
67
00:03:31,754 --> 00:03:34,465
Principal Balcomb's holding
an all-school assembly today.
68
00:03:34,549 --> 00:03:35,734
She'll talk to everyone about it.
69
00:03:35,758 --> 00:03:37,403
- Answer any questions she can.
- [phone chimes]
70
00:03:37,427 --> 00:03:38,696
[Jordan] Maybe we should just stay home.
71
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,847
[chuckles softly] Yeah. Nice try.
72
00:03:40,930 --> 00:03:44,434
As far as everyone is concerned,
Edge was experimenting with people,
73
00:03:44,517 --> 00:03:46,561
giving them powers, mind control.
74
00:03:46,644 --> 00:03:48,104
I discovered what he was up to,
75
00:03:48,187 --> 00:03:50,982
with the help of your grandfather
who had help from Superman,
76
00:03:51,065 --> 00:03:52,483
we stopped him, copy?
77
00:03:52,567 --> 00:03:55,421
Yeah, don't worry, Mom. We're getting
pretty good at cover stories, so...
78
00:03:55,445 --> 00:03:56,403
[cell phone chimes]
79
00:03:56,404 --> 00:03:58,322
- You ready? We gotta go.
- Yeah.
80
00:03:58,781 --> 00:04:00,408
- Love you, guys.
- [Jordan] Love you.
81
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,369
Chrissy keeps texting,
wondering when I'm coming in.
82
00:04:03,453 --> 00:04:04,453
I gotta go.
83
00:04:04,454 --> 00:04:05,706
You want a to-go plate?
84
00:04:07,832 --> 00:04:09,584
Our guest is probably hungry.
85
00:04:13,755 --> 00:04:15,506
[Mayor Dean]
I understand your frustration.
86
00:04:15,590 --> 00:04:17,967
I just ask for your patience.
87
00:04:18,050 --> 00:04:21,179
And you're recommending Kyle
take a leave from the station?
88
00:04:21,637 --> 00:04:24,307
Just until all this
Edge stuff blows over.
89
00:04:24,724 --> 00:04:26,726
- Couple weeks, tops.
- Couple weeks?
90
00:04:27,643 --> 00:04:29,562
Come on, Mayor.
I just want to get back to work.
91
00:04:29,937 --> 00:04:32,106
Kyle, maybe he's right.
92
00:04:32,690 --> 00:04:35,109
You know, I'm not the only one
who wanted Edge coming here.
93
00:04:35,193 --> 00:04:37,353
[Mayor Dean] And I've been
saying the same thing, Kyle.
94
00:04:37,403 --> 00:04:41,449
Trust me. I'm not quite sure
why people have been singling you out,
95
00:04:41,532 --> 00:04:43,910
but I am going to change the narrative.
96
00:04:43,993 --> 00:04:46,829
Make sure that they put the blame
where it should be.
97
00:04:47,330 --> 00:04:48,706
Just give me some time.
98
00:04:51,459 --> 00:04:55,254
[man over PA] Attention! Attention!
All students are now required...
99
00:04:55,379 --> 00:04:56,379
Today's gonna suck.
100
00:04:56,422 --> 00:04:59,217
Feels like the Salem witch trials
out here.
101
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:01,093
- Hey, Sarah.
- Where's everybody going?
102
00:05:01,511 --> 00:05:03,429
School assembly, about Edge.
103
00:05:07,934 --> 00:05:09,811
I can't do this today.
104
00:05:09,894 --> 00:05:11,187
What? Where you going?
105
00:05:11,896 --> 00:05:13,105
Anywhere but here.
106
00:05:17,652 --> 00:05:20,196
- Yo, Kent!
- Yo! What's good, boys?
107
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,322
Dude, is it true?
108
00:05:21,781 --> 00:05:23,783
Your grandpa runs the DOD?
109
00:05:24,283 --> 00:05:25,451
Uh... [chuckles awkwardly]
110
00:05:25,576 --> 00:05:27,620
Yes. Yes, something like that. Yeah.
111
00:05:27,745 --> 00:05:30,039
Sounds like some
Get Out-level stuff went down.
112
00:05:30,373 --> 00:05:31,958
Come on, man. How'd Edge do it?
113
00:05:32,041 --> 00:05:33,501
Okay, gentlemen, head to the gym.
114
00:05:34,544 --> 00:05:36,212
Let's get a move on. Let's go.
115
00:05:37,296 --> 00:05:39,507
- You too, Mr. Kent.
- Yes, ma'am.
116
00:05:42,301 --> 00:05:43,928
Today's gonna be weird, isn't it?
117
00:05:45,179 --> 00:05:46,180
Uh...
118
00:05:46,305 --> 00:05:48,099
Yeah, yeah. No, I...
119
00:05:48,182 --> 00:05:51,936
I'd, honestly, rather be pretty much
anywhere but here right now.
120
00:05:52,311 --> 00:05:53,604
We can be.
121
00:05:55,815 --> 00:05:58,901
We could just find
something better to do.
122
00:06:00,778 --> 00:06:01,904
[chuckles] We?
123
00:06:03,322 --> 00:06:04,532
[school bell ringing]
124
00:06:08,327 --> 00:06:10,329
[Chrissy] We need a story, Lois.
125
00:06:10,663 --> 00:06:12,957
Big story, front page, catchy banners.
126
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,543
Something like, "The Edge of Humanity."
127
00:06:16,294 --> 00:06:18,045
Maybe something better than that.
128
00:06:18,129 --> 00:06:19,755
It's a jumping-off point.
129
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,133
This is the biggest story of the year.
130
00:06:22,216 --> 00:06:23,551
The biggest story of my career.
131
00:06:23,634 --> 00:06:26,888
This is like Superman-
first-showing-up-in-Metropolis big.
132
00:06:26,971 --> 00:06:28,639
That's why we need to
do more interviews.
133
00:06:28,723 --> 00:06:30,141
What we're lacking in hard evidence
134
00:06:30,224 --> 00:06:32,226
we can make up for
with eyewitness testimonies.
135
00:06:32,310 --> 00:06:33,853
Anything to back up all this crazy.
136
00:06:33,936 --> 00:06:36,656
We need to talk to more Edge employees.
We have to talk to the mayor.
137
00:06:36,731 --> 00:06:38,816
- Your dad?
- He doesn't do interviews.
138
00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:40,818
DOD always releases a statement, though.
139
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:43,154
- When?
- I don't know, probably soon.
140
00:06:43,237 --> 00:06:48,075
Lois, people are calling here non-stop.
Freaking out.
141
00:06:48,159 --> 00:06:51,454
All with bits and pieces of information,
mostly gossip.
142
00:06:51,537 --> 00:06:53,247
They're desperate for answers.
143
00:06:53,331 --> 00:06:55,041
And I'd feel a lot better
giving it to them
144
00:06:55,124 --> 00:06:57,293
if we had some kind of verification
from the DOD.
145
00:07:03,341 --> 00:07:04,717
I'll reach out to him right now.
146
00:07:11,933 --> 00:07:12,933
Home-cooked meal?
147
00:07:13,517 --> 00:07:14,518
Oh!
148
00:07:14,852 --> 00:07:15,978
Room and board?
149
00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:19,649
Hey, you saved my life, saved the world.
150
00:07:19,732 --> 00:07:22,693
As far as we're concerned,
you eat free here the rest of your life.
151
00:07:24,362 --> 00:07:25,362
What's this?
152
00:07:26,197 --> 00:07:28,908
My, uh, Kryptonian tracking system.
153
00:07:29,867 --> 00:07:32,203
I enhanced the range
to help with the our search for Larr.
154
00:07:32,954 --> 00:07:35,289
- Might get lucky.
- Is that how you found me?
155
00:07:37,083 --> 00:07:39,210
- More or less.
- You know, with your skills,
156
00:07:39,293 --> 00:07:41,253
Sam could really use
someone like you at the DOD.
157
00:07:41,337 --> 00:07:43,273
- I could talk to him if you want.
- I don't think so.
158
00:07:43,297 --> 00:07:46,384
Look, Clark, I appreciate you
opening your home to me,
159
00:07:47,218 --> 00:07:49,595
but once we find Leslie,
I think I'm just going to move on.
160
00:07:50,638 --> 00:07:54,850
Figure out, now that I'm on this planet,
how to make it my home.
161
00:07:54,934 --> 00:07:58,437
May not seem like it,
but I know what you mean.
162
00:07:59,021 --> 00:08:00,314
Enjoy the food.
163
00:08:03,442 --> 00:08:05,569
[AI device]
Detecting a Kryptonian air mobile.
164
00:08:05,653 --> 00:08:07,613
- Where?
- She's heading for the DOD.
165
00:08:08,656 --> 00:08:12,451
- Prepare the suit.
- Synching with all functions now.
166
00:08:18,582 --> 00:08:20,751
- Sam, any sign of Larr?
- [General Lane] Negative.
167
00:08:20,835 --> 00:08:23,212
- Has the building been evacuated?
- Not yet.
168
00:08:23,295 --> 00:08:25,756
- About 60%.
- Sir, we got eyes on Larr.
169
00:08:28,926 --> 00:08:30,886
- ETA?
- Impact in five seconds.
170
00:08:32,513 --> 00:08:36,434
Four, three, two, one...
171
00:08:38,227 --> 00:08:39,311
Intercepted.
172
00:08:40,021 --> 00:08:41,022
[explosion]
173
00:08:48,529 --> 00:08:49,739
You haven't won, Kal.
174
00:09:04,628 --> 00:09:07,298
- Nice shot.
- Thanks.
175
00:09:08,090 --> 00:09:11,218
It's over,
but we have loose ends to tie up.
176
00:09:12,261 --> 00:09:13,387
We got Edge and Larr.
177
00:09:14,305 --> 00:09:16,223
I think it's safe to say
we can finally move on.
178
00:09:20,269 --> 00:09:21,437
[John Henry] "7-7-3-4."
179
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,023
I had those weapons built
for the wrong reasons.
180
00:09:24,523 --> 00:09:25,608
What are you saying?
181
00:09:25,691 --> 00:09:28,027
I was wrong to think
you could be a threat to the world.
182
00:09:29,028 --> 00:09:30,922
I'm gonna take that Kryptonite
and those weapons,
183
00:09:30,946 --> 00:09:32,239
bury them in concrete
184
00:09:32,656 --> 00:09:34,283
and sink 'em to the bottom of the ocean.
185
00:09:34,366 --> 00:09:36,243
What about Edge? Larr?
186
00:09:36,368 --> 00:09:39,038
We'll keep enough
to guard them appropriately,
187
00:09:39,663 --> 00:09:42,333
but there will no longer
be enough to supply an army.
188
00:09:44,335 --> 00:09:47,296
- I don't know what to say, Sam.
- You don't have to say anything.
189
00:09:47,379 --> 00:09:51,801
Just know you, Lois, the boys,
you don't have to worry anymore.
190
00:09:55,554 --> 00:09:57,034
[Tegan] Are you making fun of my car?
191
00:09:57,264 --> 00:09:58,849
[Jon] No, no.
192
00:09:58,933 --> 00:10:00,452
[Tegan] Says you,
you can't even drive.
193
00:10:00,476 --> 00:10:03,604
I like the seat covers.
Nice thread count.
194
00:10:03,729 --> 00:10:04,729
[Tegan laughs]
195
00:10:06,357 --> 00:10:08,077
You guys live somewhere out here,
don't you?
196
00:10:08,234 --> 00:10:11,487
Uh, yeah. Yeah. Not so far from here.
How did you know that?
197
00:10:12,363 --> 00:10:13,531
Someone may have told me.
198
00:10:14,615 --> 00:10:18,035
Yeah? What else did someone tell you?
199
00:10:18,828 --> 00:10:21,914
That you have
a girlfriend in Metropolis.
200
00:10:22,456 --> 00:10:24,125
Nah. Had.
201
00:10:25,292 --> 00:10:26,377
We broke up.
202
00:10:30,089 --> 00:10:31,674
How about you? Are you, um...
203
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:34,718
hanging out with anyone, or...
204
00:10:36,220 --> 00:10:38,305
Nope. No one.
205
00:10:43,227 --> 00:10:44,228
Cool.
206
00:10:45,729 --> 00:10:47,523
- I think I know where we can go.
- Yeah?
207
00:10:47,982 --> 00:10:48,982
Yes.
208
00:10:50,693 --> 00:10:51,735
Okay.
209
00:10:53,779 --> 00:10:55,865
- [Jordan] You are a rule-breaker.
- [Sarah] Me?
210
00:10:55,948 --> 00:10:56,866
[Jordan] Mm-hmm.
211
00:10:56,867 --> 00:11:00,161
You've missed more days this year
than any other kid in school.
212
00:11:00,244 --> 00:11:01,829
I have a weak immune system.
213
00:11:01,912 --> 00:11:02,955
[sighs] Hmm?
214
00:11:03,497 --> 00:11:04,582
Uh-huh.
215
00:11:05,207 --> 00:11:08,377
Anyways, thank you for coming with me.
216
00:11:08,460 --> 00:11:09,628
Of course.
217
00:11:10,504 --> 00:11:12,840
Denise and Avery still giving you crap
about what happened?
218
00:11:12,923 --> 00:11:14,717
I just know they're talking about me.
219
00:11:15,926 --> 00:11:19,013
But it can't be worse than what
they're saying about my parents.
220
00:11:19,805 --> 00:11:22,641
- That's not fair.
- I don't think fair is a real thing.
221
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:27,980
My mom, she's a public relations queen.
So...
222
00:11:28,147 --> 00:11:30,065
So what are you
still worried about then?
223
00:11:31,609 --> 00:11:33,485
My dad, he...
224
00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:36,030
Things like this
usually send him over a cliff.
225
00:11:36,113 --> 00:11:39,408
I'm kinda just waiting
for that last little nudge.
226
00:11:40,242 --> 00:11:41,242
Yeah.
227
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,497
You know, are you sure
you don't want to go to the movies
228
00:11:45,581 --> 00:11:47,124
or, like, Main Street or something?
229
00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:50,794
- Something fun?
- You tell me.
230
00:11:58,302 --> 00:11:59,428
[Kyle] What about the bank?
231
00:11:59,511 --> 00:12:01,388
Any chance you could get
your old job back?
232
00:12:01,722 --> 00:12:02,723
Mm-mmm.
233
00:12:02,806 --> 00:12:04,934
No, they replaced me as soon as I left.
234
00:12:05,476 --> 00:12:08,771
Besides, the whole thing
is tied up with that Edge mess.
235
00:12:09,355 --> 00:12:10,606
Lana, what are we gonna do?
236
00:12:10,689 --> 00:12:11,690
[bells jingling]
237
00:12:14,276 --> 00:12:15,402
Mitch?
238
00:12:18,030 --> 00:12:19,114
Oh, hey.
239
00:12:19,740 --> 00:12:20,740
Hey.
240
00:12:21,367 --> 00:12:24,453
- Out of rehab, huh?
- Not quite out yet.
241
00:12:25,496 --> 00:12:27,081
Just been craving chicken and waffles.
242
00:12:27,581 --> 00:12:29,333
So the squad wanted to treat me.
243
00:12:30,209 --> 00:12:31,210
Oh. Okay.
244
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:33,045
It just happened, Chief.
245
00:12:33,671 --> 00:12:34,964
Yeah. I know how it happened.
246
00:12:35,297 --> 00:12:37,258
Mayor Dean said he talked to you
about all this.
247
00:12:37,341 --> 00:12:39,402
About a leave of absence?
Yeah, he talked to me about that.
248
00:12:39,426 --> 00:12:42,346
- You're the one pushing for it?
- I think it's best for everybody.
249
00:12:42,429 --> 00:12:44,223
Especially someone
gunning for my job, right?
250
00:12:44,306 --> 00:12:47,184
Kyle, they were thinking about me
and the fire, that's all.
251
00:12:47,268 --> 00:12:49,144
The fire?
The the one that I pulled you out of,
252
00:12:49,228 --> 00:12:50,538
the one where I saved your life,
that fire?
253
00:12:50,562 --> 00:12:51,814
The fire Edge's freaks started.
254
00:12:51,897 --> 00:12:53,315
- Kyle.
- [Kyle] That's my fault?
255
00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:55,794
I knew as much about what Edge was doing
as the rest of y'all.
256
00:12:55,818 --> 00:12:57,152
- Okay.
- [Kyle] Hey!
257
00:12:57,444 --> 00:13:00,197
I would never do anything
to hurt anyone.
258
00:13:00,698 --> 00:13:03,826
Look, come on, y'all. Y'all know me.
259
00:13:04,785 --> 00:13:06,704
Babe, let's go. Come on.
260
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:15,838
[Lois] I can't believe you.
261
00:13:15,839 --> 00:13:17,023
[General Lane]
I don't have time for this, Lois.
262
00:13:17,047 --> 00:13:19,508
We're not releasing
an official statement, and that's it.
263
00:13:19,591 --> 00:13:22,428
- But it's standard procedure.
- If anything, it's a courtesy.
264
00:13:22,511 --> 00:13:24,138
But you always give a comment.
265
00:13:24,221 --> 00:13:25,889
Okay. No comment.
266
00:13:25,973 --> 00:13:26,973
You can print that.
267
00:13:26,974 --> 00:13:29,144
- You can't be serious,
- We've already said enough.
268
00:13:29,226 --> 00:13:32,563
Enough to create more questions.
Dad, people are worried.
269
00:13:32,646 --> 00:13:36,567
As we speak, a pamphlet is being made
to address the X-Kryptonite of it all.
270
00:13:36,650 --> 00:13:39,862
- A work of fiction.
- But it will alleviate their concerns,
271
00:13:39,945 --> 00:13:42,614
while also scaring them
into staying out of those mines.
272
00:13:43,073 --> 00:13:44,408
This isn't right.
273
00:13:44,658 --> 00:13:45,658
It's necessary.
274
00:13:46,076 --> 00:13:48,954
Dad, this is my home now.
These people are my neighbors.
275
00:13:49,038 --> 00:13:50,956
What am I supposed to say?
276
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,791
That Edge is Superman's brother?
277
00:13:52,875 --> 00:13:54,168
That he was using those people
278
00:13:54,251 --> 00:13:56,587
to build a Kryptonian army
to take over the world?
279
00:13:56,670 --> 00:13:59,065
- No, of course not.
- I know it's not what you want to hear,
280
00:13:59,089 --> 00:14:01,258
but you need to run your story
with the bare minimum.
281
00:14:01,342 --> 00:14:03,469
Eventually, this town will be okay.
282
00:14:03,886 --> 00:14:04,886
Trust me.
283
00:14:05,471 --> 00:14:06,972
But the last thing our family needs,
284
00:14:07,056 --> 00:14:08,766
is for this story
to get out of Smallville,
285
00:14:08,849 --> 00:14:10,309
and any quote from me
286
00:14:10,392 --> 00:14:12,603
will give it the legitimacy
for that to happen.
287
00:14:18,776 --> 00:14:20,110
[voices whispering]
288
00:14:29,036 --> 00:14:30,204
[Zeta-Rho] Stop!
289
00:14:32,748 --> 00:14:34,917
Finally, you are ready.
290
00:14:35,167 --> 00:14:36,251
Now what, Father?
291
00:14:36,335 --> 00:14:39,505
You will leave here
to find the Eradicator.
292
00:14:39,588 --> 00:14:42,841
- And if it hasn't yet arrived?
- Stay there, until it does.
293
00:14:42,925 --> 00:14:45,260
By myself? That could mean years.
294
00:14:45,969 --> 00:14:47,054
It's already been many.
295
00:14:47,137 --> 00:14:50,516
Study them, exploit their weaknesses
and profit from it.
296
00:14:50,599 --> 00:14:53,102
Prepare for our resurrection.
297
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:57,981
Then perhaps before I go,
I could engage with Mother.
298
00:14:58,982 --> 00:15:01,235
Get her counsel,
meet her once before I leave.
299
00:15:01,318 --> 00:15:04,780
I have told you, repeatedly, that
your mother will never be by my side.
300
00:15:04,863 --> 00:15:06,949
Then why include her crystal in my pod?
301
00:15:07,032 --> 00:15:08,951
So she can witness my vision
302
00:15:09,034 --> 00:15:11,453
for how Krypton will be restored.
303
00:15:13,122 --> 00:15:15,666
Before I extinguish her forever.
304
00:15:16,208 --> 00:15:20,379
- Please... just once...
- Leave!
305
00:15:20,712 --> 00:15:23,549
And do not return until the day is here.
306
00:15:27,553 --> 00:15:28,554
Goodbye.
307
00:15:33,308 --> 00:15:34,393
[Superman] One last time...
308
00:15:35,227 --> 00:15:36,395
where's the Eradicator?
309
00:15:39,523 --> 00:15:42,067
I told you, it's of no use to you.
310
00:15:42,568 --> 00:15:44,170
[Superman]
You don't want to tell me, fine.
311
00:15:44,194 --> 00:15:45,446
We have everything else.
312
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,364
Including Leslie.
313
00:15:47,614 --> 00:15:49,283
She's locked up now, same as you.
314
00:15:49,366 --> 00:15:51,046
Stopped her before
she could break you out.
315
00:15:51,118 --> 00:15:52,887
I don't know what the plan was,
but it wasn't a good one.
316
00:15:52,911 --> 00:15:55,539
It's called loyalty.
Something you know nothing about.
317
00:15:55,622 --> 00:15:58,667
I am loyal to the people of this world
who accepted me.
318
00:15:59,126 --> 00:16:00,252
[laughs]
319
00:16:00,961 --> 00:16:02,129
Accepted you?
320
00:16:03,714 --> 00:16:04,965
They fear you.
321
00:16:05,048 --> 00:16:07,259
- They always will and they should.
- You're wrong.
322
00:16:07,342 --> 00:16:09,011
You should be a God.
323
00:16:10,304 --> 00:16:11,763
But you became a slave to them.
324
00:16:12,306 --> 00:16:14,766
Don't you ever wonder
who you might have been
325
00:16:14,850 --> 00:16:16,268
if you hadn't landed here,
326
00:16:16,977 --> 00:16:18,312
been raised by simple farmers...
327
00:16:18,395 --> 00:16:21,148
- I'd be nothing like you.
- We both know that's not true.
328
00:16:21,231 --> 00:16:24,151
You fight against your real nature
every day.
329
00:16:24,735 --> 00:16:25,861
You don't know me.
330
00:16:25,944 --> 00:16:28,780
I know the power surging through you.
331
00:16:28,906 --> 00:16:32,075
I know how every moment
you make a choice
332
00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:34,411
to hold yourself back,
because that's the only way
333
00:16:34,495 --> 00:16:36,580
we can walk amongst humans
without killing them.
334
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:39,666
Isn't it? It's all about control.
335
00:16:40,292 --> 00:16:46,215
But didn't it feel good to lose it,
just once?
336
00:16:52,638 --> 00:16:53,805
Goodbye, Tal.
337
00:16:57,976 --> 00:16:59,895
I can see it in your eyes, brother.
338
00:17:01,230 --> 00:17:02,481
You've felt it.
339
00:17:02,606 --> 00:17:03,815
[door buzzing]
340
00:17:05,108 --> 00:17:07,236
You are just like me!
341
00:17:14,576 --> 00:17:15,576
[Chrissy] No comment?
342
00:17:16,036 --> 00:17:17,454
They always give a comment.
343
00:17:18,288 --> 00:17:19,516
Yeah, I don't know what to say.
344
00:17:19,540 --> 00:17:21,375
Well, is it because we're a small paper?
345
00:17:21,458 --> 00:17:23,353
You always got a statement
when you were at the Planet.
346
00:17:23,377 --> 00:17:25,837
Chrissy, we don't need
the DOD or my dad.
347
00:17:25,921 --> 00:17:28,173
We can do more interviews
and write what we want.
348
00:17:28,257 --> 00:17:30,008
It just doesn't make any sense.
349
00:17:30,676 --> 00:17:32,302
Is this story different somehow?
350
00:17:33,845 --> 00:17:34,888
Not that I know of.
351
00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:38,725
Lois, what is he hiding?
352
00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:42,563
I don't know, Chrissy.
353
00:17:45,941 --> 00:17:47,109
Are you lying right now?
354
00:17:47,985 --> 00:17:48,985
No.
355
00:17:50,696 --> 00:17:51,697
You're totally lying.
356
00:17:51,780 --> 00:17:53,323
Chrissy, it's not what you think.
357
00:17:53,407 --> 00:17:55,534
Lois Lane is protecting the DOD.
358
00:17:55,617 --> 00:17:58,787
You're supposed to be on the side
of the people, not the man.
359
00:17:58,870 --> 00:18:00,581
I thought we were in this together.
360
00:18:00,664 --> 00:18:03,125
- Chrissy...
- Lois, if you can't tell me the truth...
361
00:18:05,002 --> 00:18:06,128
then maybe you should leave.
362
00:18:18,515 --> 00:18:20,976
[Tegan] You know, your mom
is a legit role model.
363
00:18:21,268 --> 00:18:22,226
[Jon] Yeah.
364
00:18:22,227 --> 00:18:24,581
[Tegan chuckling] One year, I even
dressed up as her for career day.
365
00:18:24,605 --> 00:18:28,817
[Jon] Okay, well,
full disclosure, I did too.
366
00:18:29,568 --> 00:18:30,808
- [Tegan laughing] What?
- Yeah.
367
00:18:31,612 --> 00:18:33,012
[Tegan] Your family is really cool.
368
00:18:33,488 --> 00:18:34,488
Nah.
369
00:18:34,489 --> 00:18:36,701
Well, between your mom
and your grandfather,
370
00:18:36,783 --> 00:18:37,784
there's no question.
371
00:18:39,036 --> 00:18:40,704
So, you heard about my grandpa?
372
00:18:41,580 --> 00:18:43,957
- From someone?
- From everyone.
373
00:18:44,249 --> 00:18:46,144
I mean, your family is kind of
in the middle of the biggest thing
374
00:18:46,168 --> 00:18:47,169
to happen in Smallville.
375
00:18:49,254 --> 00:18:51,174
You know, those people
were actually brainwashed.
376
00:18:51,256 --> 00:18:52,174
What?
377
00:18:52,175 --> 00:18:56,345
They're saying that Edge was
experimenting on his employees.
378
00:18:58,013 --> 00:19:00,807
My cousin said that
she saw Avery Phan's mom fly.
379
00:19:02,017 --> 00:19:05,020
I heard about that. That's...
That's crazy, right?
380
00:19:05,103 --> 00:19:06,521
What does your grandpa think?
381
00:19:07,022 --> 00:19:09,691
Does he know how Edge
gave them all powers?
382
00:19:12,944 --> 00:19:14,529
Tegan, why did you bring me here?
383
00:19:16,948 --> 00:19:18,158
I wanted to get to know you.
384
00:19:18,575 --> 00:19:20,786
I mean, you weren't interested in me
last week.
385
00:19:20,869 --> 00:19:22,746
And then, what... I mean, what changed?
386
00:19:23,622 --> 00:19:25,666
I don't know, Jonathan. I just...
387
00:19:26,333 --> 00:19:28,377
Just wanted information?
388
00:19:29,336 --> 00:19:31,046
Well, we're also hanging out.
389
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:34,840
Yeah.
390
00:19:35,092 --> 00:19:36,385
Uh, I think I'm gonna walk home.
391
00:19:37,219 --> 00:19:39,429
Wait, wait, wait, Jonathan.
392
00:19:42,182 --> 00:19:43,975
Everyone wants to know what happened.
393
00:19:44,059 --> 00:19:45,059
Right.
394
00:19:45,477 --> 00:19:47,688
And obviously you want to be
the one to tell them.
395
00:19:47,771 --> 00:19:48,939
Right, I get it.
396
00:19:50,941 --> 00:19:51,941
See ya.
397
00:19:59,533 --> 00:20:01,952
I mean, did you even see
the way they looked at me? Huh?
398
00:20:02,035 --> 00:20:03,704
My own crew doesn't even trust me.
399
00:20:03,787 --> 00:20:06,456
You can't take it personally, babe.
400
00:20:06,540 --> 00:20:07,540
It ain't right.
401
00:20:07,916 --> 00:20:10,711
Okay. You know, you risked your life
to save this town.
402
00:20:10,794 --> 00:20:12,587
Maybe if these people knew about that...
403
00:20:12,671 --> 00:20:14,506
What, and you think they'd believe it?
404
00:20:15,424 --> 00:20:17,759
I barely do, and I was there.
405
00:20:17,843 --> 00:20:20,721
Goddamn it! Lana, it...
It's just not fair.
406
00:20:20,804 --> 00:20:22,013
No, it's not.
407
00:20:22,097 --> 00:20:23,306
It sucks.
408
00:20:24,349 --> 00:20:26,143
But the Mayor has our back.
409
00:20:26,226 --> 00:20:29,271
We just have to be patient.
We're not alone in this.
410
00:20:30,564 --> 00:20:31,898
Okay.
411
00:20:32,357 --> 00:20:35,569
But look, I cannot just stand
around here and do nothing.
412
00:20:38,029 --> 00:20:41,992
Well... you can help me look for a job.
413
00:20:42,075 --> 00:20:44,303
Well, finding something around here
is gonna be a long shot.
414
00:20:44,327 --> 00:20:45,662
I know,
415
00:20:46,747 --> 00:20:49,416
but I was thinking
we could look in the surrounding areas.
416
00:20:49,916 --> 00:20:52,335
We could also move
to one of the surrounding areas.
417
00:20:53,003 --> 00:20:54,171
Kyle...
418
00:20:54,254 --> 00:20:55,839
If we're throwing out options, why not?
419
00:20:57,299 --> 00:20:58,842
Oh, my gosh, you're serious.
420
00:20:58,925 --> 00:21:01,428
Lana, these people have known us
our entire lives.
421
00:21:02,179 --> 00:21:03,889
You know, what's it say about them,
422
00:21:04,014 --> 00:21:07,017
if they're just so quick
to turn their backs on us like that?
423
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:09,853
These people, they're our family.
424
00:21:11,229 --> 00:21:13,440
Look, this will blow over.
425
00:21:14,024 --> 00:21:15,859
Well, I guess we'll see about that, huh.
426
00:21:19,070 --> 00:21:20,697
How'd you find this place?
427
00:21:23,366 --> 00:21:26,369
I used to come here with my abuelita.
428
00:21:28,038 --> 00:21:30,332
She'd tell me stories about my family.
429
00:21:31,333 --> 00:21:32,709
We're originally from Mexico,
430
00:21:32,793 --> 00:21:35,253
but we've been in Smallville
for generations.
431
00:21:37,464 --> 00:21:40,401
You know, half the time, I wouldn't even
know which one of her stories were true.
432
00:21:40,425 --> 00:21:41,426
[Jordan chuckles]
433
00:21:41,510 --> 00:21:46,765
But it always just made me feel
like I had somewhere to belong.
434
00:21:47,849 --> 00:21:49,935
I never really felt like
I belonged anywhere.
435
00:21:53,396 --> 00:21:54,940
To be honest, until I met you.
436
00:21:56,024 --> 00:21:57,024
Jordan.
437
00:21:57,025 --> 00:21:59,737
Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
Whatever. But it's...
438
00:22:00,153 --> 00:22:02,948
Look, all I'm saying is that
it only really takes one person
439
00:22:03,031 --> 00:22:04,199
to change your whole life.
440
00:22:04,825 --> 00:22:06,117
Just to make you feel safe.
441
00:22:06,868 --> 00:22:10,121
And you have Jon
and you have your family,
442
00:22:10,831 --> 00:22:11,831
and you have me.
443
00:22:14,501 --> 00:22:16,461
And that's never going away.
444
00:22:20,882 --> 00:22:23,635
You should probably kiss me now.
445
00:22:24,219 --> 00:22:25,804
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
446
00:22:33,144 --> 00:22:34,384
[woman] That's enough, you two!
447
00:22:38,775 --> 00:22:41,403
[General Lane] We've got about
two dozen rifles and handguns.
448
00:22:41,778 --> 00:22:44,489
Few thousand Kryptonite bullets,
give or take.
449
00:22:44,865 --> 00:22:49,369
In addition to a substantial collection
of knives, swords, spears.
450
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:51,955
What about the prototypes
in the R&D lab?
451
00:22:52,038 --> 00:22:53,623
The biochemical weapons?
452
00:22:53,707 --> 00:22:57,335
Maybe five or so,
in varying stages of development.
453
00:22:57,419 --> 00:22:59,522
And how much raw Kryptonite
do you have in your stockpile?
454
00:22:59,546 --> 00:23:02,048
A couple warehouses worth.
Why all the questions?
455
00:23:02,132 --> 00:23:03,452
It's all going to be gone anyway.
456
00:23:06,928 --> 00:23:07,928
I think it's a mistake.
457
00:23:08,847 --> 00:23:09,763
What?
458
00:23:09,764 --> 00:23:11,684
We need 7734.
459
00:23:12,267 --> 00:23:13,995
It's why you authorized it
in the first place.
460
00:23:14,019 --> 00:23:16,521
And then I saw how it hurt my family.
461
00:23:16,813 --> 00:23:18,356
These weapons can kill you.
462
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,900
Yeah, that's why we need them.
463
00:23:19,983 --> 00:23:22,569
Clark, you're not the enemy.
464
00:23:22,652 --> 00:23:24,321
Yeah, but I could have been.
465
00:23:24,946 --> 00:23:25,946
Sam,
466
00:23:26,656 --> 00:23:28,533
people like me, without these weapons...
467
00:23:29,951 --> 00:23:30,952
we're indestructible.
468
00:23:31,036 --> 00:23:33,079
And if something like this
should happen again
469
00:23:33,163 --> 00:23:35,749
without a plan in place,
without a fail-safe...
470
00:23:37,584 --> 00:23:38,793
that would be the end.
471
00:23:45,425 --> 00:23:47,093
[spray hissing]
472
00:24:01,775 --> 00:24:05,320
Well done, John. A perfect recreation
of the original design.
473
00:24:06,071 --> 00:24:08,239
I believe Natalie would be proud.
474
00:24:10,033 --> 00:24:11,826
Given that your suit is complete,
475
00:24:11,910 --> 00:24:14,537
and all enemy combatants
are now in custody,
476
00:24:14,663 --> 00:24:17,415
may I inquire
as to our new mission parameters?
477
00:24:17,999 --> 00:24:19,167
Still working that out.
478
00:24:19,417 --> 00:24:21,795
Perhaps another attempt
to see your sister?
479
00:24:22,170 --> 00:24:23,755
You know, you're getting kind of pushy.
480
00:24:23,838 --> 00:24:26,299
I am programmed
to anticipate your needs.
481
00:24:26,383 --> 00:24:27,926
Optimum psychological health
482
00:24:28,009 --> 00:24:31,096
requires the formation
of interpersonal relationships.
483
00:24:31,221 --> 00:24:32,347
[footsteps approach]
484
00:24:32,639 --> 00:24:36,351
Hey, uh, sorry. I just got home
and heard voices, so...
485
00:24:39,437 --> 00:24:40,437
So...
486
00:24:41,189 --> 00:24:43,024
you really built this thing
from scratch, huh?
487
00:24:45,986 --> 00:24:47,028
Pretty amazing.
488
00:24:50,365 --> 00:24:51,533
You're a gearhead?
489
00:24:53,034 --> 00:24:54,244
I don't know what I am.
490
00:24:57,414 --> 00:24:59,624
Always been an athlete, you know, so...
491
00:24:59,958 --> 00:25:00,958
Me, too.
492
00:25:02,210 --> 00:25:04,295
You know, you can be
more than one thing.
493
00:25:04,379 --> 00:25:07,716
Perhaps, you could tell Jonathan
a tale from your own upbringing?
494
00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:09,968
Would you please just shut down?
495
00:25:10,510 --> 00:25:11,511
Jonathan?
496
00:25:13,763 --> 00:25:14,889
Why aren't you in school?
497
00:25:20,478 --> 00:25:21,771
[cell phone ringing]
498
00:25:22,939 --> 00:25:24,500
[Lois]
This better be about the statement.
499
00:25:24,524 --> 00:25:26,192
Not now, Lois. It's important.
500
00:25:26,776 --> 00:25:28,945
- What's wrong?
- It's about Clark.
501
00:25:30,113 --> 00:25:31,448
I'm worried about him.
502
00:25:31,948 --> 00:25:33,408
[thudding]
503
00:25:51,217 --> 00:25:52,218
Hey, Soph.
504
00:25:52,761 --> 00:25:54,763
Mom, is anything wrong?
505
00:25:56,598 --> 00:25:57,974
What do you mean, sweets?
506
00:25:58,516 --> 00:26:01,061
Dad asked me
if I wanted to try another school.
507
00:26:01,561 --> 00:26:04,022
No, baby. Daddy was just asking.
508
00:26:04,522 --> 00:26:05,982
[telephone ringing]
509
00:26:06,191 --> 00:26:07,442
Hold on, okay?
510
00:26:12,155 --> 00:26:13,156
Hello?
511
00:26:14,199 --> 00:26:15,366
Oh. Hey, Kya.
512
00:26:17,535 --> 00:26:18,535
Arrested?
513
00:26:18,828 --> 00:26:20,789
Jon, It's not like you
to break the rules.
514
00:26:20,872 --> 00:26:23,708
I know. I know, but there's this girl
and she's a junior,
515
00:26:23,792 --> 00:26:26,187
and I don't know, I thought
she was out of my league, you know?
516
00:26:26,211 --> 00:26:27,651
You skipped class to impress a girl?
517
00:26:27,712 --> 00:26:28,797
Well, that's the thing.
518
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,673
She just wanted to talk
about what happened.
519
00:26:31,716 --> 00:26:34,010
Like, Edge, powers, Grandpa.
520
00:26:35,220 --> 00:26:36,220
And?
521
00:26:36,679 --> 00:26:38,014
I mean, I didn't say anything.
522
00:26:38,098 --> 00:26:39,641
We need to talk.
523
00:26:39,724 --> 00:26:41,643
Yeah, we do. Jon skipped class.
524
00:26:42,227 --> 00:26:43,143
What?
525
00:26:43,144 --> 00:26:45,064
Go upstairs.
I will deal with you later.
526
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,153
We can talk about him after we talk
about what I want to talk about.
527
00:26:54,197 --> 00:26:56,282
You told my dad to keep 7734?
528
00:26:56,366 --> 00:26:58,451
I did. I did.
I should have talked to you first.
529
00:26:58,535 --> 00:27:00,745
Jonathan, upstairs!
530
00:27:02,956 --> 00:27:05,917
- After everything we've been through...
- I know, I know.
531
00:27:06,042 --> 00:27:07,460
Why?
532
00:27:07,544 --> 00:27:08,938
Because it's the right thing to do.
533
00:27:08,962 --> 00:27:11,131
This isn't about Edge, is it?
This is about you.
534
00:27:11,214 --> 00:27:12,549
Lois, I almost killed John Irons.
535
00:27:12,632 --> 00:27:13,716
But you didn't.
536
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,302
Yeah, but what if I had?
I mean, who would have been next?
537
00:27:16,761 --> 00:27:18,930
Look, I swore to protect
the people of this planet.
538
00:27:19,055 --> 00:27:20,282
So far, I've done a decent job.
539
00:27:20,306 --> 00:27:22,350
But what if I was to be tricked
or corrupted...
540
00:27:22,433 --> 00:27:23,643
That will never happen...
541
00:27:23,726 --> 00:27:25,436
Except that it just did.
542
00:27:26,563 --> 00:27:29,315
The people of this world deserve
the means to defend themselves
543
00:27:29,399 --> 00:27:31,943
from the one thing
I can't save them from. Me.
544
00:27:32,026 --> 00:27:33,778
If weapons like that exist,
545
00:27:33,862 --> 00:27:35,989
then the wrong people
will get their hands on them.
546
00:27:36,072 --> 00:27:37,240
And then what do we do?
547
00:27:37,365 --> 00:27:38,741
[telephone ringing]
548
00:27:42,453 --> 00:27:45,290
Not enough to skip school.
This one has to go get arrested.
549
00:27:45,373 --> 00:27:46,708
[Clark] They're both acting out.
550
00:27:46,791 --> 00:27:48,084
We'll give them a punishment.
551
00:27:48,209 --> 00:27:50,545
- I'll drive.
- Lois, about the other thing...
552
00:27:50,628 --> 00:27:52,297
What? I'm right, you're wrong.
553
00:27:52,380 --> 00:27:53,965
I understand why you would think that.
554
00:27:55,008 --> 00:27:58,052
Do you know what it was like
when my dad gave John Henry Irons
555
00:27:58,136 --> 00:27:59,762
the go-ahead to fire the missile?
556
00:27:59,846 --> 00:28:01,097
I'm sorry.
557
00:28:01,181 --> 00:28:02,974
Then why risk it happening again?
558
00:28:03,057 --> 00:28:05,244
- I told you because...
- Because it's the right thing to do.
559
00:28:05,268 --> 00:28:07,145
What does that even mean anymore, Clark?
560
00:28:07,812 --> 00:28:10,690
I lied to Chrissy today
to protect our family.
561
00:28:10,773 --> 00:28:13,443
I broke my sacred role as a journalist.
562
00:28:13,526 --> 00:28:15,588
We both play fast and loose
with journalistic integrity
563
00:28:15,612 --> 00:28:16,613
from time to time.
564
00:28:16,696 --> 00:28:20,325
When it comes to keeping your secret,
not the stories we investigate.
565
00:28:20,408 --> 00:28:22,035
Yeah, but Edge is my brother.
566
00:28:22,118 --> 00:28:24,162
He's Kryptonian.
This story is different.
567
00:28:24,245 --> 00:28:27,957
Why should I be okay with the military
having a secret code to kill my husband?
568
00:28:28,041 --> 00:28:30,710
Given the countless psychos
who want you dead,
569
00:28:30,835 --> 00:28:33,087
it just feels like a really bad idea.
570
00:28:34,297 --> 00:28:35,965
- Lois, will you please just listen?
- No!
571
00:28:36,049 --> 00:28:37,967
There's nothing you can say
that I want to hear,
572
00:28:38,051 --> 00:28:39,344
and now I'm angry,
573
00:28:39,427 --> 00:28:42,472
and I feel sorry for yelling at you,
but I also have to stay angry,
574
00:28:42,555 --> 00:28:44,074
so that I can scare
the hell out of Jordan.
575
00:28:44,098 --> 00:28:45,808
So why don't you just stay here,
576
00:28:45,892 --> 00:28:47,560
and let's just both
take a moment to think
577
00:28:47,644 --> 00:28:51,105
and then we can talk about this later
after I bail our son out of jail.
578
00:29:09,290 --> 00:29:10,351
[Lana] What were you doing?
579
00:29:10,375 --> 00:29:12,085
[Lois] I can't believe you guys.
580
00:29:12,168 --> 00:29:13,920
I can explain.
581
00:29:14,003 --> 00:29:15,213
I'm so sorry.
582
00:29:15,296 --> 00:29:17,799
Lana, and you must be Jordan's mom?
583
00:29:17,882 --> 00:29:19,676
Kya, what's going on?
584
00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:22,345
They were caught trespassing
out by Atlas Pond.
585
00:29:22,428 --> 00:29:23,721
Are you kidding me?
586
00:29:24,472 --> 00:29:26,808
When we were their age,
we used to go there all the time.
587
00:29:26,891 --> 00:29:29,371
I don't know what to tell you
other than it's private property.
588
00:29:31,396 --> 00:29:33,636
Deputy, if Lana didn't even know
it was private property,
589
00:29:33,731 --> 00:29:35,275
then I'm sure the kids didn't either.
590
00:29:35,358 --> 00:29:38,486
And I promise you, there's a world
of just unimaginable horror
591
00:29:38,569 --> 00:29:41,030
that awaits my son for skipping school.
592
00:29:41,114 --> 00:29:43,908
The same goes for Sarah.
This will never happen again.
593
00:29:43,992 --> 00:29:47,203
Just because she let you two go with
a warning doesn't mean it didn't happen.
594
00:29:47,328 --> 00:29:48,913
- Mom...
- Don't talk yet.
595
00:29:48,997 --> 00:29:51,758
[Mayor Dean]...as I've been saying,
the Cushings are the real problem.
596
00:29:51,833 --> 00:29:55,086
Honestly, Sheriff, I was suspicious
of Morgan Edge from day one.
597
00:29:55,169 --> 00:29:59,048
But you know Kyle. He just pushed
and pushed until he finally got his way.
598
00:29:59,632 --> 00:30:01,634
I mean, honestly,
599
00:30:02,302 --> 00:30:04,304
we're the real victims here.
600
00:30:04,554 --> 00:30:08,850
And who knows what kind of perks
they got from Lana's special little job.
601
00:30:09,892 --> 00:30:12,353
- Zero perks.
- Lana...
602
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,731
We got lied to just like everyone else.
603
00:30:14,814 --> 00:30:17,608
Just like you lied when you said
you were going to help us.
604
00:30:17,692 --> 00:30:19,253
Why don't you and I
go talk somewhere else?
605
00:30:19,277 --> 00:30:21,904
You said you were going to
set the record straight,
606
00:30:21,988 --> 00:30:24,449
and all you're doing
is covering your ass,
607
00:30:24,532 --> 00:30:26,617
so you don't feel the blowback
come election time.
608
00:30:26,701 --> 00:30:28,012
I'm doing what's best for the town.
609
00:30:28,036 --> 00:30:31,664
You're doing what's best for you
at the expense of my family.
610
00:30:31,748 --> 00:30:34,125
And for that, shame on you.
611
00:30:41,132 --> 00:30:42,132
You okay?
612
00:30:42,133 --> 00:30:43,801
I don't know what I am right now.
613
00:30:43,885 --> 00:30:46,387
- I feel so many things.
- Mostly anger, right?
614
00:30:46,471 --> 00:30:48,264
So much anger.
615
00:30:49,098 --> 00:30:51,684
- Have you ever noticed...
- How punchable the Mayor's face is?
616
00:30:51,768 --> 00:30:52,768
- Yeah, I have.
- [scoffs]
617
00:30:53,186 --> 00:30:54,186
God.
618
00:30:54,687 --> 00:30:56,356
You know, he's not the only one.
619
00:30:57,940 --> 00:31:01,235
I mean, it's like this entire town
has turned their back on us.
620
00:31:01,319 --> 00:31:03,112
They're just looking for
a way to move on.
621
00:31:03,196 --> 00:31:05,531
Blaming you is easier
than blaming themselves.
622
00:31:05,615 --> 00:31:08,076
Yeah, but it doesn't
make it hurt any less.
623
00:31:08,159 --> 00:31:10,286
Smallville has always been there for me.
624
00:31:10,370 --> 00:31:12,372
It's why I built my life around it.
625
00:31:13,122 --> 00:31:16,876
And now, I'm wishing
I had a backup plan,
626
00:31:16,959 --> 00:31:19,921
because I'm out there in the cold
with no nest egg,
627
00:31:20,004 --> 00:31:21,714
and no connections anywhere else.
628
00:31:21,798 --> 00:31:25,176
And I am worried about my family, Lois.
629
00:31:25,259 --> 00:31:29,514
Especially when people like Mayor Dean
are out there controlling the narrative.
630
00:31:29,597 --> 00:31:30,640
It's not right.
631
00:31:31,307 --> 00:31:32,558
It's not right.
632
00:31:33,643 --> 00:31:36,479
And it's not the same town
I used to love.
633
00:31:43,694 --> 00:31:45,696
Go to your room.
We'll talk about this later.
634
00:31:52,078 --> 00:31:53,078
Hey.
635
00:31:54,163 --> 00:31:55,832
They let them go with a warning.
636
00:31:58,626 --> 00:31:59,627
That's good.
637
00:32:00,586 --> 00:32:02,046
Jon's still up in his room.
638
00:32:05,425 --> 00:32:07,465
- We need to talk about...
- We should talk about...
639
00:32:09,345 --> 00:32:10,345
You first.
640
00:32:15,226 --> 00:32:16,853
Clark, you are wrong.
641
00:32:17,770 --> 00:32:20,857
[sighs] Lois, we have to have a plan.
642
00:32:20,940 --> 00:32:23,443
Why? Because your mind is corruptible?
643
00:32:23,526 --> 00:32:25,236
We have proof now.
644
00:32:25,319 --> 00:32:28,030
Your heart is stronger than your mind.
645
00:32:28,114 --> 00:32:29,824
No. You don't understand.
646
00:32:29,907 --> 00:32:34,328
Clark, I'm all about backup plans,
but this one comes with major risks
647
00:32:34,412 --> 00:32:36,914
and for a reason
you've proven isn't a threat.
648
00:32:38,708 --> 00:32:40,751
That's not entirely true.
649
00:32:43,212 --> 00:32:44,797
What are you talking about?
650
00:32:51,137 --> 00:32:52,763
My dad taught me control.
651
00:32:54,724 --> 00:32:58,144
I have been controlling my powers
every second of every day
652
00:32:58,227 --> 00:33:00,146
for almost 40 years.
653
00:33:01,022 --> 00:33:02,607
But when Zod took over,
654
00:33:02,690 --> 00:33:04,317
for the first time,
655
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,944
I felt what it was like to let go.
656
00:33:08,905 --> 00:33:10,990
To really let go.
657
00:33:11,073 --> 00:33:13,951
Clark, those were Zod's emotions,
not yours.
658
00:33:14,035 --> 00:33:15,495
I know, but I felt it.
659
00:33:16,996 --> 00:33:18,206
It was me.
660
00:33:20,291 --> 00:33:23,085
And I'm not saying
I want this to be true,
661
00:33:23,169 --> 00:33:24,212
I wish it wasn't...
662
00:33:29,258 --> 00:33:30,593
but it felt good.
663
00:33:31,469 --> 00:33:34,096
It felt really, really good.
664
00:33:34,180 --> 00:33:36,224
And that feeling worries me.
665
00:33:36,307 --> 00:33:38,518
If there is even the slightest chance
666
00:33:38,601 --> 00:33:41,896
that I could be manipulated again
with that desire to let go...
667
00:33:46,484 --> 00:33:49,320
the world needs a way to stop me.
668
00:33:50,821 --> 00:33:52,615
I don't think that will ever happen.
669
00:33:52,698 --> 00:33:53,950
- Lois...
- But...
670
00:33:55,493 --> 00:33:57,328
on the off chance I'm wrong,
671
00:33:58,621 --> 00:34:01,040
and if this will make you feel better,
then fine.
672
00:34:01,999 --> 00:34:03,459
Let's have a fail-safe.
673
00:34:03,543 --> 00:34:08,005
But there is no way in hell
I'm trusting the DOD with this.
674
00:34:10,591 --> 00:34:12,677
Then we just have to
find someone we can.
675
00:34:13,427 --> 00:34:15,030
[John Henry]
You wanna run that by me again?
676
00:34:15,054 --> 00:34:17,682
- [Clark] I know it's a lot to ask.
- You want me,
677
00:34:18,266 --> 00:34:21,227
and only me,
to have the capability to kill you?
678
00:34:21,310 --> 00:34:23,646
Should it become necessary, yes.
679
00:34:25,481 --> 00:34:26,774
But I know who you are now.
680
00:34:26,857 --> 00:34:29,068
I know, but this is about
situations we can't predict.
681
00:34:29,860 --> 00:34:33,948
And you've seen firsthand
the devastation I can cause this world.
682
00:34:34,031 --> 00:34:35,992
I'm trying to move on, remember?
683
00:34:36,909 --> 00:34:39,537
Now that killing you
isn't my singular purpose in life.
684
00:34:39,620 --> 00:34:40,871
And it shouldn't be.
685
00:34:40,955 --> 00:34:43,141
John, I have no doubt
you'll find your way in this world,
686
00:34:43,165 --> 00:34:46,544
but I believe you can do that
and be 7734's gatekeeper.
687
00:34:48,421 --> 00:34:50,298
You came here to protect
this world from me.
688
00:34:51,841 --> 00:34:53,175
That's what I'm asking you to do.
689
00:34:58,097 --> 00:34:59,223
I'll call Sam.
690
00:35:10,818 --> 00:35:12,570
Wasn't expecting to see you.
691
00:35:14,196 --> 00:35:15,656
I owe you an apology.
692
00:35:16,449 --> 00:35:17,491
Kind of busy, Lois.
693
00:35:20,244 --> 00:35:22,121
You were right. I lied.
694
00:35:24,832 --> 00:35:27,376
My dad is hiding something
and I can't betray his trust.
695
00:35:27,460 --> 00:35:29,879
This story is bigger
than you or your dad.
696
00:35:30,338 --> 00:35:32,465
We have a responsibility to the people.
697
00:35:32,548 --> 00:35:34,175
This town is falling apart.
698
00:35:34,258 --> 00:35:35,801
Believe me, I know.
699
00:35:36,344 --> 00:35:39,430
People are tearing each other down,
looking for someone to blame
700
00:35:39,513 --> 00:35:40,473
and if we do nothing,
701
00:35:40,474 --> 00:35:43,100
we're as responsible for its downfall
as anyone else.
702
00:35:43,184 --> 00:35:45,227
If only there was something we could do.
703
00:35:45,311 --> 00:35:46,729
I can't write this story.
704
00:35:46,812 --> 00:35:48,939
I'm too close to it to be objective.
705
00:35:51,651 --> 00:35:52,651
But you can.
706
00:36:02,286 --> 00:36:05,414
It's a statement from your dad.
707
00:36:05,873 --> 00:36:07,708
He wouldn't go on the record
about everything,
708
00:36:07,792 --> 00:36:09,543
but this is enough
to tell most of the story
709
00:36:09,627 --> 00:36:12,129
and to focus the blame where it belongs.
710
00:36:12,755 --> 00:36:13,798
On Morgan Edge.
711
00:36:16,425 --> 00:36:18,969
- This was really messed up, Lois.
- I know.
712
00:36:19,553 --> 00:36:21,555
I hope that I can earn back your trust.
713
00:36:23,140 --> 00:36:26,686
- [electrical humming]
- [breathing heavily]
714
00:36:26,769 --> 00:36:28,354
[voices whispering]
715
00:36:28,437 --> 00:36:29,647
[Edge] I'm not alone?
716
00:36:30,314 --> 00:36:33,818
All this time,
I've been without anyone of my kind.
717
00:36:33,901 --> 00:36:36,862
Alone, Father, for years.
718
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:39,281
How could you not tell me?
719
00:36:39,365 --> 00:36:41,492
He's of no consequence to you.
720
00:36:41,575 --> 00:36:43,160
He's from the House of El. He's my...
721
00:36:43,244 --> 00:36:46,163
He's your brother.
Yes, by bloodline only.
722
00:36:46,789 --> 00:36:48,999
Pathetic treasonous bloodline.
723
00:36:49,083 --> 00:36:50,876
He's become a hero, Father.
724
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,378
He is nothing!
725
00:36:53,713 --> 00:36:54,922
I'll find another way.
726
00:36:55,005 --> 00:36:56,799
You will do no such thing.
727
00:36:56,882 --> 00:37:00,302
When I find the Eradicator,
I'll show him what we can do.
728
00:37:00,386 --> 00:37:01,988
- Tal, no.
- I'll make myself known to him,
729
00:37:02,012 --> 00:37:04,348
give him what he's been here
without as well.
730
00:37:04,432 --> 00:37:05,474
Tal, listen to me.
731
00:37:05,558 --> 00:37:08,561
I don't need to
do this your way, Father.
732
00:37:08,644 --> 00:37:10,688
You are going to ruin the resurrection.
733
00:37:10,771 --> 00:37:13,107
I'm not,
I'm just not going to die to do it!
734
00:37:13,190 --> 00:37:15,443
My way is the only way!
735
00:37:19,947 --> 00:37:21,574
Tal... Tal?
736
00:37:21,657 --> 00:37:23,576
Tal, what are you doing? No!
737
00:37:26,287 --> 00:37:27,329
[clatters]
738
00:37:27,705 --> 00:37:29,874
[voices whispering]
739
00:37:31,876 --> 00:37:33,711
[whispering grows louder]
740
00:37:46,307 --> 00:37:48,058
Your way is the only way.
741
00:37:49,602 --> 00:37:50,686
Goodbye, Father.
742
00:38:06,118 --> 00:38:08,305
[Sarah] I don't really know
what I'm supposed to say here.
743
00:38:08,329 --> 00:38:10,080
You can start with an apology.
744
00:38:10,164 --> 00:38:14,084
I'm sorry the cops got all aggro
about us going to the lake.
745
00:38:14,168 --> 00:38:16,629
You know, forget the trespassing, Sarah.
746
00:38:17,004 --> 00:38:18,130
You ditched school.
747
00:38:18,214 --> 00:38:19,214
That's unacceptable.
748
00:38:19,256 --> 00:38:22,468
I'm supposed to sit in class
while people talk about me?
749
00:38:22,551 --> 00:38:23,552
About you?
750
00:38:23,636 --> 00:38:26,639
Everyone blames us about Edge
and I'm over it, okay?
751
00:38:26,722 --> 00:38:28,224
So please just ground me.
752
00:38:28,307 --> 00:38:30,976
I'm not exactly dying to go out there
in this sad little town
753
00:38:31,060 --> 00:38:33,938
with these vindictive,
close-minded garbage people.
754
00:38:34,021 --> 00:38:36,899
You know what?
Let's just, um, call it a night.
755
00:38:37,566 --> 00:38:38,734
Start fresh tomorrow.
756
00:38:39,318 --> 00:38:40,402
- Okay?
- Yeah.
757
00:38:41,195 --> 00:38:42,195
Yeah.
758
00:38:51,872 --> 00:38:53,541
Teenagers. [sighs]
759
00:38:55,209 --> 00:38:58,295
You should have seen
the look on Mayor Dean's face.
760
00:38:59,171 --> 00:39:01,090
He knows he was wrong.
761
00:39:02,424 --> 00:39:04,802
Yeah, well,
he's got to cover his own hide.
762
00:39:05,928 --> 00:39:08,013
It's only gonna get worse, isn't it?
763
00:39:14,144 --> 00:39:15,521
Maybe you're right, Kyle.
764
00:39:17,690 --> 00:39:22,862
[sighs] Maybe we just pack up and get
as far away from here as we can.
765
00:39:28,951 --> 00:39:30,202
We're gonna be all right.
766
00:39:32,246 --> 00:39:34,391
[Lois] Do you have any idea
how much trouble you're in?
767
00:39:34,415 --> 00:39:36,208
You can't just skip school.
768
00:39:36,292 --> 00:39:38,252
I don't care
if you're mooning over Sarah Cushing
769
00:39:38,335 --> 00:39:40,337
or coming home
to build robots with John Henry.
770
00:39:40,421 --> 00:39:42,172
- Mooning?
- It's a warsuit.
771
00:39:42,256 --> 00:39:43,966
Look, guys, you've been through a lot.
772
00:39:44,049 --> 00:39:45,801
You want to blow off some steam,
I get it.
773
00:39:45,885 --> 00:39:47,052
But there are rules.
774
00:39:47,511 --> 00:39:49,471
And you do not disrespect your teachers
775
00:39:49,555 --> 00:39:51,640
by ignoring the work
they put into your classes.
776
00:39:51,724 --> 00:39:52,808
We're sorry.
777
00:39:52,892 --> 00:39:53,892
Really sorry.
778
00:39:55,352 --> 00:39:57,855
You want to try saying that
a little more convincingly, please.
779
00:39:58,856 --> 00:39:59,856
I'm sorry.
780
00:40:00,149 --> 00:40:01,149
I'm sorry.
781
00:40:01,275 --> 00:40:02,191
[Clark] Thank you.
782
00:40:02,192 --> 00:40:03,652
Now things are finally calming down.
783
00:40:03,736 --> 00:40:05,195
So when you're done being grounded,
784
00:40:05,279 --> 00:40:07,281
you guys can go back
to being normal teenagers.
785
00:40:07,781 --> 00:40:10,784
And believe me,
small towns are actually a lot of fun.
786
00:40:15,331 --> 00:40:16,415
All right. Go to bed.
787
00:40:17,124 --> 00:40:18,124
Now.
788
00:40:28,636 --> 00:40:29,636
What?
789
00:40:30,888 --> 00:40:32,556
"Small towns are a lot of fun."
790
00:40:33,057 --> 00:40:35,184
Just trying to give them
something to look forward to.
791
00:40:35,267 --> 00:40:36,644
Sounds vaguely provocative.
792
00:40:36,727 --> 00:40:37,645
Oh, does it?
793
00:40:37,646 --> 00:40:39,980
And you're still not
sold on small towns?
794
00:40:40,648 --> 00:40:42,650
I'm sold on my small town guy.
795
00:40:42,733 --> 00:40:44,234
Hmm. I know that.
796
00:40:50,574 --> 00:40:51,659
[machine beeping]
797
00:40:51,742 --> 00:40:53,327
How long ago did this start?
798
00:40:53,410 --> 00:40:54,411
A couple minutes, sir.
799
00:40:55,079 --> 00:40:56,288
[exhales heavily]
800
00:40:57,623 --> 00:40:58,999
Send in a team to check it out.
801
00:41:19,395 --> 00:41:20,980
- His vitals?
- They're gone, sir.
802
00:41:21,063 --> 00:41:22,564
We're not registering anything.
803
00:41:29,196 --> 00:41:30,197
[rapid beeping]
804
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,865
Maximize that Kryptonite field.
805
00:41:32,533 --> 00:41:34,576
[electrical humming]
806
00:41:49,633 --> 00:41:50,633
Get them out of there.
807
00:42:19,079 --> 00:42:20,748
[voices whispering indistinctly]
808
00:42:24,543 --> 00:42:26,670
- [alarm blaring]
- [indistinct chattering]
809
00:42:36,346 --> 00:42:37,346
Edge.
810
00:42:45,064 --> 00:42:47,733
- [traffic bustling]
- [people chattering]
811
00:42:48,442 --> 00:42:50,277
[bell dinging]
812
00:42:50,402 --> 00:42:51,904
[chatter continues]
813
00:42:53,197 --> 00:42:54,573
[siren blaring]
814
00:43:07,461 --> 00:43:08,461
He's gone.
815
00:43:10,714 --> 00:43:12,216
Where the hell did he go?
816
00:43:25,896 --> 00:43:28,732
- [Zeta-Rho] You had one mission...
- [woman] One mission.
817
00:43:28,816 --> 00:43:32,361
[Zeta-Rho] And you veered from it
because you are weak.
818
00:43:32,444 --> 00:43:33,362
Weak.
819
00:43:33,363 --> 00:43:35,531
You shall not veer from it any longer.
820
00:43:35,614 --> 00:43:38,408
Go and complete
what you were sent here to do.
821
00:43:38,492 --> 00:43:40,595
- [woman] Become the Eradicator.
- [man 1] Become the Eradicator.
822
00:43:40,619 --> 00:43:42,889
- [man 2] Become the Eradicator.
- [man 3] Become the Eradicator.
823
00:43:42,913 --> 00:43:45,582
- [man 4] Become the Eradicator.
- [man 5] Become the Eradicator!
824
00:43:45,666 --> 00:43:48,460
[Zeta-Rho]
Or know that you are the sole reason
825
00:43:48,544 --> 00:43:50,963
Krypton was lost.
